James Holst & Andy Fiolka hit early ice in Webster South Dakota in search of not the famed perch and walleye of the area but for Panfish! Hand over fist…
Our son, Ollie, was so proud of his fish. They weren’t big, but the smiles made up for the size, and the fish fry was delicious.
went out in search of some spawning crappie around culverts using a power bait swim bait in a jigging motion
Her first crappie!!
evening crappies
ALMOST a 15 inch late ice crappie
Trolled cranks for an hour or 2 on the croix and got 1 keeper, a few shorts, and a 5 lb flathead. For some reason I’m getting a lot more crappie’s mixed in this year and sure why. All action came between Stillwater and Bayport.
Sometimes you need to go back to the basics, a bobber off the dock.
